Supply and demand determine our wages. We compete in an international market. You can choose to refuse to take the job. But somebody somewhere may be prepared to accept a lower price, and you cannot control this.

If you want to get your panties in a wad, then go right ahead. But that won't help your cause.

If you want to keep your wages up, then find a market where there is a supply shortage, or increase your own quality so that you can command a higher price in the market that you're in.
